i would really love to see support for flash animations and games for the xbmc. i love looking at flash animations online and i would love to be able to download them and put them on my xbox and view them at any time especially on the tv. i am really surprised that this has not been mentioned yet and not on the to-do list.

it has been mentioned for xbmp many times, but the problem is that thzere isn't a good open source flash viewer we can use.

i have a large collection of swf files on my computer. but as lazy and convinient i am, i would like to watch them on my xbox instead.
i know it's a difficult thing to do, but it would be totally awesome!

i agree but is that what a media player is for? maybe!!!
personaly i have a large amount of flash stuff myself (joe cartoon etc) but i think i would prefer to see xbmc rival or better windows media player first..

i personally would love to sit down at my tv, grab some ginger-ale and watch a marathon session of strongbad. i even tried to use some flash->avi convertors i found on the internet with the intention of making a dvd, but they were all crap when it came to anything that had actionscript. by which i mean not only interactive stuff (which is a big *duh* in terms of supporting via an automated program) but also stuff that wasn't. like skipping over a bunch of frames. the video came out fine but the audio became unsynced.
i think someone actually requested this feature before, maybe for xbmp, but it was turned down on the basis that there aren't any good open-source flash libraries. which is kinda true (i only found one, and it hadn't been worked on for a while) but even a mediocre one would be better than nothing.

1. there are no good opensource flash libraries
2. even if there was, i think there are lots of features requests which have a higher priority

i already talked to turlich a couple of months ago and he was inetersted in flash support for xbmc, but his player was far away fmo perfect playback for most of the files. but his main goal was to invent an easy to use menu engine for games and apps (and a port for the xbox) anyway. i don't know how far he developed it in the last months (i am subscribed to the cvs mailinglist, but don't understand a word of whats going on there).
so maybe one day we can use it for menus.
